Maybe old news, but I've just seen this

Isn't there also a 3mp digital mini Leica M made by Minox or such?
 
i'm not sure that's digital, Remy. At least, i've seen Rolleiflex, Hasselblad and Leica miniatures mad by Minox, going with that miniature film.

Ah. I must have assumed it was digital as I remember having seen a digital mini TLR somewhere, probably by Minox. Sorry if I caused nay confusion. :)
 
Yeah, some of these miniatures that have been around a few years take regular Minox 9.5mm film. The linked Rollei though is a 3.1mp digital, though the specs also say it's 2mp, and 1760x1760 pixels which is 3mp. Maybe there was a previous 2mp version, now superceded. Also odd is that the "auto focus" lens is "fixed focus":
• Lens: Fixed focus, 5-elements 8.5 mm, F2.8
• Focus range: Autofocus, 0.7 m to ?

Seems to me that they're cute, but performance is lower than you'd expect for the price.
 
I'm guessing those digital Rolleis are something fun for the die-hard Rollei fan. Just like the Minox is for Leica fans.

I almost bought a Minox Leica from Adorama last year when they had a clear out. The only thing that stopped me was the cost of the developing reel for my Patterson tank.

Stu :)
